Maybe it’s just us that never noticed this before, but the Iron Patriot armor that shows up in Iron Man 3 apparently has a decal on the hip that looks quite a bit like a tattoo on Rhodey’s right leg.An image that appears in The Daily Mail, taken on the Miami set of the Marvel sequel, also seems to confirm assumptions made based on recently-released promotional art that Iron Man and Iron Patriot are actually working together, rather than at odds, as they are in the comic.Of course, in the comic it’s a bad guy inside the suit and in the films, Don Cheadle has already confirmed it’s James Rhodes. Presumably the Captain America-inspired name and design is somewhat more comforting to civilians in the Marvel Cinematic Universe than “War Machine.”Iron Man 3 will be in theaters in May 2013.
